Build Instructions
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
For most people, the usual:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
is enough. This installs Dovecot under /usr/local.
|
|
When building from git, you need to run `./autogen.sh` first.
|
|
|
|
If you have installed some libraries into locations which require special include or library paths, you can give them in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables. For example:
|
|
|
|
`CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib ./configure`
|
|
|
|
See `./configure --help` for a list of all available configure options.
|
|
See [Installation](https://doc.dovecot.org/latest/installation/installation.html) for more information.

|
|
Running
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Start with the minimal configuration installed in `/usr/local/etc/dovecot/`.
|
|
|
|
Read through, and make needed modifications.
|
|
|
|
Once everything is configured, start Dovecot by running "dovecot" binary.
|
|
|
|
See the [Online configuration documentation](https://doc.dovecot.org/latest/core/config/overview.html) for more information.
|
|
|
|
If you're in a hurry, go at least through [Quick Configuration](https://doc.dovecot.org/latest/core/config/guides/quick.html).
|
|
|
|
SSL/TLS
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Dovecot supports [OpenSSL](https://openssl-library.org/) for SSL/TLS
|
|
functionality.
